Thorntons Snapshot Gallery
A few weeks ago I posted some images of the 100th Birthday Illustration I created for chocolatiers, Thorntons. I was commissioned by the lovely team at Purple Circle and worked with them and the in-house design team at Tho
rntons to create some inky birthday magic.

Since posting the blog, I’ve had some wonderful photos tweeted and emailed to me of the artwork at various Thorntons stores around the UK! Short of doing some kind of Thorntons UK tour (which my mum seems to be seriously contemplating) I would never get to see all the stores in their inky new outfits, so it’s fantastic to receive your snaps! In honour of this, I’ve started a bit of a Thorntons Snapshot Gallery. If you spot a Thorntons store in your corner of the UK, take a quick snap and tweet or email it to me along with where you saw it.
Big thanks to Tamsin, Siane and Al who sent me these snaps last week:
@studioseed at Leamington Spa
@Sianep (in London town somewhere Siane?)
@AnyForty in Manchester (I guess?!)
@LauraStabb in Plymouth
Bags of Ink (and cocoa!) Pic tweeted to me by @GorillaGrafiks
In between practising his father of the bride speech, Laura’s dad Mr Stabb snapped this pic of Thorntons Chesterfield.
Inky Chocolate boxes spotted by @CharlieBell, the super star designer who commissioned me to create the Edinburgh Fringe work last year!
Big thanks to Purple Circle too, for sharing these images of the artwork in their local Nottingham store!
And in case this has given you a bit of a sweet tooth, I noticed the Jubilee Wonder Boxes on the Thorntons website this morning, 100 little pieces of Chocolate Heaven in a rather pretty box 🙂
